Executive Summary
The integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) market has changed so profoundly that IWMS solutions are now moving into the next phase of their evolution, transforming into more connected and intelligent offerings. In this report, Verdantix establishes connected portfolio intelligence platforms (CPIP) as the next era of IWMS systems, delivering enhanced customer value through insights derived from the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced analytics. This report provides facilities, workplace and real estate directors with an introduction to CPIP – a new IoT-enabled software category for real estate and building optimization. Legacy IWMS suppliers that do not make the leap to CPIP risk failing to address the needs of the market, such as the desire for demand-led workflows and interoperable solutions. Executives should use this report to inform their real estate software strategies and future buying decisions.
